Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 826 The Khanate coalition forces retreated to Hami and convened a court meeting to adjust the strategy

September 17th, the sky is clear and the air is clear.

Although it is already late autumn, it is still very warm in Hehuan Hall.

Zhu Qiyu sat at the coffee table and wrote letters to the Mongolian generals affectionately, stroke by stroke.

Lin Xiangyu was getting tired of clinging to Zhu Qiyu's side, but suddenly she stood up and hid on the bed.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What's wrong with Qi'er? Why doesn't he stick to me all of a sudden?"

Lin Xiangyu replied with a melancholy look on her face: "The things dad wrote are so disgusting, I really can't stand it."

Zhu Qiyu had an innocent look on his face: "I want to persuade them to surrender, seduce them with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and sow discord between them and the Great Khan and the Grand Master. Naturally, I have to write something more affectionate and touching.

If you don’t write like this, how can you move them?

Especially that Wu Lingha, he was an old acquaintance and an old minister. After he surrenders, I must arrange a good job for him. "

"What good errands have been arranged? Just your way of sowing dissension has killed Wu Lingha."

Zhu Qiyu smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, they all have to die anyway. I will kill all these powerful people, and then place the next generation in the capital and let them learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and read Chinese books."

After assimilating and brainwashing them, they were sent back to the north to herd sheep.

Then give them a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, crafts and toys, and let them become corrupted.

Then open a mutual market and sell goods to the entire Mongolian tribes.

According to the conclusions of the Bank of China, the entire Mongolia will be corroded from top to bottom in five years at most. "

Qianxue asked: "Is your husband's earlier strategy of promoting Buddhism in Mongolia and becoming a monk and cultivating as a monk to reduce the number of Mongolians?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "80% of it still needs to be done. Buddhism is really useful for dealing with the Mongols. Our local Taoism is really not suitable for such immoral things.

I don’t understand. If you believe in Buddhism, you should believe in Buddhism, and if you become a monk, you will become a monk. Why can’t you approach women?

Buddha is in charge, but he is really tolerant. Compared with the great sage Zhu who upholds the principles of nature and destroys human desires, it is easier to find trouble. "

"The incense of Buddhism is too strong, and the Buddha eats too much. If he can be hungry for a while, he will not be so particular about poverty. It is better to be Taoist. In the prosperous age, build a small courtyard in the mountains, drink tea, and write Poetry, sword dancing, that's it.

In troubled times, he would go down the mountain to help those in need.

Buddhism is just the opposite. In the prosperous times, people got cramps when collecting money; in troubled times, no one came out to save millions of believers from fire and water. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled contemptuously: "So don't think I don't like collecting taxes, but for these wild monks, I will tax them severely. Taxes must be collected when doing things, building temples, and accepting donations."

All monks in the Ming Dynasty must accept my exploitation; whoever wants to exploit me, I will kill.

Under my rule, no monk has enough food to eat. "

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu added: "You should pay more attention. If any monk attempts to get close to the next generation of our family, he will be executed directly and will not be tolerated."

Ningxiang nodded: "Don't worry, husband, your Xichang is very careful. Not even a fly can fly into our house."

Qianxue asked: "Speaking of this, the inner court has been making a fuss these past two days. It is said that their palaces and pavilions in the Forbidden City need to be repaired."

"How much do they want for the repairs?"

Qianxue pointed out two fingers.

"Two hundred thousand taels?"

Qianxue shook her head. "Two million taels?"

Qianxue nodded.

Zhu Qiyu was immediately amused: "Come on, come on. We don't live in the Forbidden City, so why should we use two million taels to build a bunch of broken houses that have no meaning to us?"

"The main palace in the Forbidden City has already been almost burned. I think back to those days when my husband and the God of War set fire to each other. The spectacular sight of the flames soaring into the sky is really nostalgic."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What is the God of War? My brother doesn't count. Only those who can fight their way out of a tight siege on a donkey cart like a formation enthusiast can be called a God of War.

The Tumu Fort is so close to Juyongguan, and you can't escape, so you have the nerve to call it the God of War. "

Qianxue asked again: "The ministers asked my husband to attend the court meeting tomorrow. Will you go?"

"No, let Zhu Wenfang go. I'm tired of hearing the same thing at the meeting."

"But they asked you to go by name. They said they wanted to compile the recent military reports and then determine the next strategy."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It would have been better if Zhu Wenfang had been born a few years earlier. I really don't want to go out. I want to soak in the hot springs at home and play with women at home."

Complaining was in vain, Zhu Qiyu became concerned about the northern battlefield again: "Ha La Kuchu should have received my letter for several days, and those old, weak, women and children should have been sent back.

Now, I am afraid there is a famine in the Mongolian army camp. "

Qianxue asked curiously: "The Mongols have no food, no vegetables, no fruits. They only eat meat and only drink milk. Can they bear it?"

"I can't stand it, so they need tea. But I have banned it and won't sell it to them.

As for what to do if they eat meat that cannot be digested, that is not a question that my unparalleled benevolence, the Great Emperor Jingtai, needs to consider.

You have to know that they initiated this war, and I did not provoke them.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, I want to breastfeed.

Xue'er and Xi'er came over and knelt at my feet. "

Hearing this, Su Xi covered her mouth and chuckled: "My husband is so angry. We are kneeling at your feet. How can you breastfeed?"

Zhu Qiyu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. I always asked you to kneel at my feet. I always said it smoothly. You guys lean on the backrest. I will rub it for you first, and then eat."

……

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu came to Qingyun Palace and took Zhu Wenfang to watch the court together.

After looking around for a week, Zhu Qiyu found that there were so many people coming, and everyone was smiling. It seemed that the recent war was quite beneficial to Ming Dynasty.

Xu Youzhen first announced the good news: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Mongol coalition has collapsed, and the armies of the khanates in the west have separated from the main force of Agabarji and begun to retreat to Hami.

Duke Cao Guo and King Su have led their armies to Ningxia. They didn't block it and let it go.

The goal of Cao Guogong and Su Wang was to regain Houhetao and block Agabarji's return path. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, this decision is okay, no problem. Because Ningxia's military intelligence reached the imperial court, it took at least a month to get back and forth, and the day lilies were getting cold while waiting for the emperor's decision on everything.

So the frontline coaches make their own decisions and play however they want.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu asked: "Does Agabarji's army still have something to eat? Are there Shanxi merchants and gentry secretly providing him with food? Is there anyone smuggling salt tea?"
